Harry Nelson Pillsbury Пильсбери, Гарри Гарри Нельсон Пильсбери Harry Nelson Pillsbury Страны: США Дата 5 декабря 1872 рождения: Место Сомервилл рождения: Дата смерти: 17 июня 1906 (33 года) Место смерти: Филадельфия (англ. Harry Nelson Pillsbury; 5 декабря 1872, Сомервилл, Массачусетс, США — 17 июня 1906, Филадельфия) — американский шахматист, один из сильнейших в конце XIX — начале XX веков шахматных теоретиков. Биография Научился играть в шахматы только в 16 лет. В 1895 впервые принял участие в международном турнире в Гастингсе, где взял 1-й приз, опередив величайших мастеров своего времени — Чигорина, Ласкера,Тарраша, Стейница и др. В том же году Пильсбери принял участие в крупном турнире в Санкт-Петербурге, где занял третье место. Как полагал сам Пильсбери, именно в Санкт-Петербурге он заразился сифилисом, который в конечном итоге стал причиной его ранней смерти. Хотя во всех последующих турнирах Пильсбери считался одним из наиболее вероятных претендентов на победу, его первый успех так и остался самым значительным его достижением. Лишь однажды ему удалось снова занять первое место в международном турнире (Мюнхен,1900), но и в этом случае он разделил первый приз с Шлехтером. Также был известен игрой «вслепую», давая сеансы одновременной игры на большом количестве досок (до 22). В последние годы жизни игра Пильсбери значительно ослабла под влиянием тяжелой болезни, которую он сильно запустил, стесняясь обращаться к врачам. … Его успех изумителен, тем более, что он в первый раз принимал участие в большом турнире. Пильсбери — гeниальмый шахматист, и игра его полна глубоких идей... Несомненно, он всегда займѐт, если не первое, то обязательно почѐтное место среди гроссмейстеров нашей прекрасной игры. З. Тарраш. Пильсбери познакомился с шахматами поздно – в 16 лет. Прошло всего 7 лет – и он удивил весь мир. Впервые приехав в 1895 году в Европу для участия в Гастингском турнире, собравшем всех лучших шахматистов мира, Пильсбери стал победителем, показал блестящую игру и великолепный итоговый результат – 16,5 очков из 21. Шахматная Европа была ошеломлена триумфом неизвестного ей американца. «Его успех изумителен, тем более что он в первый раз принимал участие в большом турнире. Пильсбери – гениальный шахматист, и игра его полна глубоких идей…» – писал Тарраш, анализируя итоги турнира. В конце того же 1895 года Пильсбери стал участником шестикругового турнира четырех сильнейших шахматистов планеты. В этом грандиозном соревновании играли чемпион мира Эмануил Ласкер, экс-чемпион Вильгельм Стейниц и лучший русский гроссмейстер Михаил Чигорин. Пильсбери превосходно начал турнир, дважды выиграв у Ласкера, и после половины дистанции уверенно лидировал с результатом 6,5 очков из 9 (на очко впереди чемпиона мира). Однако во второй части турнира Пильсбери был неузнаваем. Проиграв в четвертом круге полную драматизма партию Ласкеру, он настолько расстроился, что потерпел еще 5 поражений, и в итоге занял только третье место, хотя и выиграл мини-матч у чемпиона мира. После этого американский гроссмейстер достаточно успешно выступал во многих турнирах, но повторить достижение в Гастингсе уже не смог. По меткому замечанию шахматного историка, Пильсбери всю оставшуюся жизнь пытался догнать самого себя образца 1895 года, но догнать не сумел. Гарри Нельсон Пильсбери был замечательным мастером игры вслепую. Он путешествовал со своими сенсационными сеансами по всему миру и сыграл более тысячи партий! В 1902 году Пильсбери гастролировал в России и установил своеобразный мировой рекорд – провел сеанс против 22 сильных московских шахматистов. Он выиграл 17 партий, 4 завершил вничью и проиграл только одну. Этот сеанс наблюдал девятилетний Алехин, который позже вспоминал: «Достижение Пильсбери подействовало на меня ошеломляюще, впрочем, как и на весь шахматный мир». Пильсбери умер в июне 1906 года в Филадельфии, не прожив и 34 лет. «Пильсбери был после Морфи, бесспорно, величайшим шахматным дарованием Америки», – писал Александр Алехин. Другой чемпион мира, Эмануил Ласкер, называл его гением.

К тому времени Пиллсбери пришел в Филадельфии в 1899 году на одной из его многочисленных поездок через этот город, он был Соединенных Штатов по шахматам уже более года, и вот уже долгое время репутацию одного из лучших в мире и вслепую сеанс одновременной игроков. Пилсбери шахматной карьере, и в частности его турнир и матчевая встреча, был предметом Жак Н. папы Гарри Нельсон Пилсбери, американский чемпион мира по шахматам (Пешка Остров пресс: 1996), самая большая коллекция Пиллсбери игры, вышедшие на сегодняшний день. Папы работа является желанным ресурсом для человека поиск забытых игр играют Пиллсбери. Папа, однако, не предпринял никаких попыток быть как можно более широким относительно Пиллсбери неофициальных игр, в том числе играл с завязанными глазами, в консультации, или во время одновременного выставки. И не неожиданно, недавно найденных игр пришли к свету. Пиллсбери логически достаточно поздно начал свою 1899 шахматы тур в США с проживанием в Филадельфии, затем по его дому. В ночь на субботу, 7 октября, 1899, Пиллсбери открыл сезон для Франклина Шахматный клуб с одновременным выставка восемнадцати досках, выиграв пятнадцать, проиграв два, и один рисунок. Уолтер Пенн Шипли заслужил свою ничью в Совет девяти, в то время как стипендиат проиграл Д. Стюарт Робинсон на борту десять и Джордж Х. Стаут на борту два. Стаут был далеко не самым удачным из Пиллсбери противников во время своей первой остановки тура. Он не только выиграл у Франклина шахматном клубе сеанс одновременной игры на 7 октября, 1899, но на следующую субботу, 14 октября, 1899, Стаут мог рисовать с Пиллсбери, когда он сыграл двадцать три доски выставке в торговом Библиотека, выиграв семнадцать, две потери и четыре ничьих (из них две, на досках семнадцати и восемнадцати лет, были игры в шашки вместо шахмат).

The penultimate round game between Flores and former (1993) champion Macon Shibut stands out as the critical juncture in this year’s title race. To that point Shibut had looked to be pulling away from the pack, standing alone at 5-0 including wins over Greanias and two-time champion Rusty Potter. Flores was a half point behind and scheduled for the black pieces. However, in this battle of editors (Flores oversees Tidewater Chess News, Shibut Virginia Chess) the new champion experienced no real trouble in the open- ing, gradually took command in the middlegame, and wrapped up the point with incisive endgame play.
